1 Notice of Annual General Meeting & Call for Nominations Saturday, October 27, :00 3:00 p.m. EDT Overview Equal Voice is hosting its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday, October 27 from 1 3 p.m. EDT. The meeting will take place via live web and/or audio-conferencing to facilitate nationwide participation. There will be host locations in most provinces where chapters exist (see list below). At these locations, members in good standing will be able to participate by audio-conference or web-conference. Equal Voice is also exploring the feasibility of off-site participation for those members in good standing who would like to participate from their home. More information will be forthcoming on this. To qualify as a member in good standing, you must have paid your membership within the last year. New and renewing members must have paid their membership by no later than Monday October 22 at noon ET. At this year s AGM, EV seeks to report on our activities, to vote on financial statements for the years 2010 and 2011, to establish the numbers of directors, and to elect/re-elect some members of EV s National Board of Directors. Membership Fees Membership fees are $50.00/year or $10.00/year for youth, students or low income (self-declared). We strongly encourage you to join or renew on line at When processed online with payment, your membership is effective immediately. Membership fees are shared between the national office and local chapters. 40% of membership fees go to your local Chapter and the remaining amount goes toward sustaining EV s national web site, programs, and public awareness activities. Call for Nominations EV currently has a nationally based board of directors of 14 individuals. By vote of the EV board, the national board will be expanded to 16 positions, seven of whom will be elected at this AGM, and nine of whom are held by chapter chairs who are chosen by their chapters. Four individuals now currently serving as national directors (and are not ex-officio and do not represent chapters) are seeking election or re-election to the board as at-large directors. Equal Voice welcomes expressions of interest by all individuals who wish to be elected to a seat on the National Board. All those elected/re-elected will serve two year terms. 1
